Adobe: Photoshop Is Not A Verb

Posted In: Announcement by Andy at 6:00 am

Adobe is teaching us the proper use of the trademark ‘Photoshop’, and in case there is any confusion they’re providing its use in some very handy sentences, a few copied below:

Trademarks must never be used as slang terms.
CORRECT: Those who use Adobe® Photoshop® software to manipulate images as a hobby see their work as an art form.
INCORRECT: A photoshopper sees his hobby as an art form.
INCORRECT: My hobby is photoshopping.

Trademarks are not nouns.
CORRECT: The image pokes fun at the Senator.
INCORRECT: The photoshop pokes fun at the Senator.
